"Throughout this period, of a year and three or four months, there have been all sorts of excuses and scenarios in the minds of some, mainly to justify incompetence and certain disastrous results. There were scenarios of understandings and deals between PSD and Nicușor Dan. But these scenarios were actually justifications for them to hide their incompetence. PSD is extremely disappointed, and you know this; I don’t need to tell you, about the choice that Nicușor Dan made last night. I’m not saying it’s unconstitutional; I’m not saying it’s illegal. But we would have expected that after four right-wing prime ministers, there would be a chance for those who won the elections. That is, for us to be given this mandate. Justified, I requested it yesterday. I want to be very clear. In the discussions we had at Cotroceni, I requested the mandate of prime minister. The solution the president offered was to grant this mandate to Luca Niculescu. Ultimately, these decisions show that there was never any understanding between Nicușor Dan and PSD. These scenarios existed, I repeat, only in the sick mind of those who try to hide their incompetence through justifications of this type. The president of PSD, Sorin Grindeanu, stated on Tuesday that the appointment of Luca Niculescu for the position of prime minister 'is not unconstitutional', but he would have expected president Nicușor Dan to appoint him." #SorinGrindeanu #PSD #LucaNiculescu (translated)

"PSD is extremely disappointed by the choice that Nicușor Dan made last night. I am not saying that it is unconstitutional or that it is outside the law, but we expected that, after four right-wing prime ministers, there would be a chance for those who won the elections, meaning for us to be given this mandate. We requested it yesterday. We requested the prime minister mandate. There has never been an understanding between Nicușor Dan and PSD. It only existed in the sick mind of some. If it were me, he would probably have hinted that I was to be appointed. For me, it was quite clear when I left Cotroceni that PSD does not have the mandate.” PSD leader Sorin Grindeanu stated on Tuesday that PSD is extremely disappointed with the announcement made Monday evening by Nicușor Dan regarding the appointment of Luca Niculescu as prime minister." #PSD #NicușorDan #Grindeanu (translated)

I am now heading to Bucharest, but I will not participate in the consultations with the usurper from Cotroceni. I do not deserve to be there. I have appointed a delegation to go there to deliver a clear message: we want early elections as soon as possible, and to stop the usurper from Cotroceni’s spectacle of handcuffs, to stop the arrests. "I do not deserve to be there," George Simion stated on Monday, adding that the AUR delegation will demand early elections, as reported by News.ro. #GeorgeSimion #NicusorDan #AUR (translated)

I had another meeting, discussion with the president, in which the atmosphere that was, unfortunately, already outlined.

AUR's First Deputy President Dan Dungaciu stated on Monday, after the consultations at the Cotroceni Palace, that the party's delegation continues to hold that the solution for resolving the political crisis lies in early elections. #AUR #alegeriantropate #crizăpolitică (translated)

"I have concluded the consultations organized by the President of Romania. I have specified the position of the National Liberal Party. We remain consistent with the decisions that PNL has made in recent months – namely that we will not be in a government with the Social Democratic Party, considering what has happened during this period, a situation in which, if the PSD is in government, PNL will enter the opposition. Also, being aware of the political deadlock we have been in for too many months, after the President of Romania makes the nomination of the Prime Minister, we will discuss as seriously as possible and will see what the possibilities are to avoid prolonging the political deadlock, which is not beneficial for our country," said Bolojan at the Cotroceni Palace. The President of the National Liberal Party, interim Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan, stated on Monday, after consultations with the head of state, that PNL remains consistent with the decisions made not to be part of a government with PSD. #PNL #BlocajPolitic #GuvernareRomania (translated)

“President Nicușor Dan chose to publicly state the following: ‘I exclude the AUR Party from forming the majority.’ And this is where the issue arises that needs to be addressed to Nicușor Dan: firstly, that he exceeds his constitutional duties. Practically, he becomes both president and Parliament, which is not the case in our constitutional system.” Later, Petrișor Peiu declared, after the consultations at the Cotroceni Palace, that he asked President Nicușor Dan to stop “rolling out lies in the public space.” #NicușorDan #Politică #AUR (translated)
